There are lots of different ways to influence the day-to-day life at ITU, and one of the most impactful ones is representing your fellow students in the various university boards. They differ in scope, but they all focus on discussing which things can be improved at campus, ranging from curriculum, lecture scheduling and exam rules, to educational and financial focus areas. And everything in-between.

Read on to get a short introduction to the different boards, and find out if there's somewhere where you would want to apply yourself. If you've already decided you can find the sign up form right here:

Subject Area Teams

The Board of Studies is composed of 8 members appointed by the Subject Area Teams and 2 members who are directly elected.
